Well, Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating our USA Thanksgiving. Though this Thanksgiving Day may be quite different for many of us in Coronavirus times, I hope for gratitude and being of service is part of my day. Instead of getting together with my California Sister, Jane and her family, I am celebrating with the monks of the monastery where I am now staying. Since it is my first Thanksgiving dinner with them I await their customs and food. I will help, maybe in baking some bread which would be minor, given turkey and all the trimmings. I hope that I don't compare and contrast with my sister's cooking, but rather enjoy the newness of what is before me. Expand my Thanksgiving horizons is my plan for the day. I try to celebrate what I have and not what I do not have. Be sober. Be healthy.

Happy Thanksgiving, Father Ryan. :) I have nothing but gratitude for all that you share, teach and lead by example - thank you doesn't quite cover it, but I thank you regardless. Lots of love heading your way across the miles.
